Comment 56 for bug 1697556

Hopefully future kernel releases don't need the nouveau.modeset=0

the past 3+ weeks) without issues. Kudos to the Ubuntu and Canonical
teams for doing such a great job.

As I was not able to login to my computer I am writing this bug report while it runs on kernel 4.10.0-21-generic. Therefore the information attached through the "ubuntu-bug linux" command here, are referring to the kernel that is actually working. I decided to nonetheless include that information as it might contain other kernel unrelated information that would help you troubleshooting.
